Right Way to Whiten Yellow Teeth

yellowTeeth form an important living body part. They grow, age, change and in some cases die when they decay. The image fostered by our culture is that ideal teeth are purely white. However, to majority of us, the trend of yellow teeth is like a norm.

It’s only a cosmetic thing

Perhaps, what’s good about yellow teeth is the fact that they do not indicate a medical problem. In fact, yellow teeth and white teeth can be equally healthy. Yellowing is only a side effect of the staining that is caused by some beverages and food. In some cases, teeth’s yellowing is a natural aspect of our aging process.

But why do teeth turn yellow and not green or blue?

Naturally, the enamel of the teeth has a bluish-white color. Underneath this enamel, there is a dentin. This is a bony, hard tissue. Dentin has a yellowish tint. In fact, the belief of a Science-Focus writer is that teeth that are slightly yellow are stronger than teeth that are naturally white. This is because yellowing suggests that a person has this vital tissue in a healthy amount. Conversely, there are times when yellowing of teeth is not because of the presence of this tissue but build-up of plaque.

The other color

There are cases when the discolored teeth do not have a yellow color. In such cases, they have stains that are lightly stripped or they can have a brown appearance. In such cases, discoloration can be due to the use of tetracycline antibiotics in children. It can also be due to the use of other medications. Note that this does not mean that you have damaged teeth. However, a reputable dentist like Dr. Gabe Doria can take cosmetic steps that will lead to the removal of these stains. You just need to visit his dental practice at Bayonne, New Jersey in Hudson County to be examined and to determine the exact cause of teeth discoloration and have the stains removed.

Genetic inclination

There are times when even if you take extra care about brushing and eating, teeth turn yellow naturally. This can be due to genetic inclination. This implies that if the teeth of your grandparents and parents were yellow, you also have greater chances of having yellow teeth.

Lifestyle choices

Some things that we do can cause yellowing of our teeth. For instance, smoking can cause yellow teeth. That’s why you need to be careful when making lifestyle choices. If you are already smoking, it might be wise to stop if you don’t want to have yellow teeth.

How to deal with yellow teeth

We mostly live our daily lives without paying much attention to effects of sugary foods, cigarettes, coffee and soda drinks on our natural teeth. We only notice these effects when our teeth get the yellow tint.

Naturally, we want to have that attractive look of white, healthy teeth. Commercial strips and tooth whitening toothpastes provide a temporary whitening solution.

However, if you want to have a lasting solution to the yellow teeth problem, visiting a cosmetic dentist or a reputable dentist could be your best bet. A reputable dentist like Dr. Gabe Doria will explain the choices that you have when you visit his dental practice at Bayonne, New Jersey in Hudson County.

Yellow teeth treatment

Among the yellow teeth treatment or whitening options that you have include professional, safe bleaching, cleaning and veneers. Whitening toothpastes can be effective but they have to be used for several months. They also whiten some shades only. Bleaching trays provide quicker results in some cases. However, their results are quick to fade and they are not generally safe.

Dr. Gabe provides a safe and faster office procedure whose whitening results last longer. However, how long the whitening results last is dependent on your personal behavior or habits. Regardless of your need, Dr. Gabe will examine your case and recommend the most appropriate option for you during the first visit.
